The Corpus Christi Police Department is aware of a recent news story regarding an Officer involved incident that presents a one sided account of the events.  The incident occurred on April 17, 2025. In order to provide full context, we have made the decision to release the unedited body worn camera and dash camera video.

The only redactions made to the footage are motor vehicle license plates. License plate numbers may be redacted from radio traffic and blurred in the videos to protect privacy. No other edits have been made.

We understand and appreciate the concerns that have been raised, and we take those concerns very seriously. The released videos show that the officer had probable cause to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. The vehicle subsequently eluded the officer, continued through a stop sign, and ultimately pulled over in a secluded area.

When the officer made contact with the operator of the vehicle, the individual failed to comply with verbal commands and proceeded to reach toward the vehicle’s center console.  The officer then removed the male from the vehicle. The individual continued to refuse verbal commands during the encounter.  Every day, officers make split second decisions based on real time circumstances.

We recognize that the videos may be difficult to watch and advise viewers that strong language is present. We also want the public to be aware that the dash camera audio is not audible, and the body worn camera audio begins approximately 30 seconds into the recording of the body camera video.

The Corpus Christi Police Department recognizes the importance of maintaining the public’s trust and will continue striving to meet our community’s expectations of professionalism. For many years, we have worked diligently to build strong relationships and earn the trust of those we serve, and we remain committed to continuing that work. We appreciate the continued support of our department and our officers.

CCPD Narcotics and Vice Investigations Division Detectives concluded a month’s long investigation into drug dealing on the city’s southside early Thursday morning, serving a search warrant at a residence on the 4800 block of H. Boyd Hall Street. During the search, investigators found and seized over thirty-three ounces of THC liquid and approximately seven ounces of psilocybin mushrooms. In addition, Detectives seized over $12,000 in cash, seven semi-automatic handguns, one 12-gauge magazine-fed shotgun, one 5.56mm AR-type pistol, and one 7.62mm semi-auto rifle.

Due to the existence of multiple firearms in the residence, CCPD SWAT was called upon to make entry and secure the home prior to the search. As a result of the search, NVID Detectives arrested Nicolas Medrano, and Gabriel Medrano. Both were charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges and arrests are possible.

On February 16, 2026, at 3:00 pm Officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department were dispatched to the 1900 block of Secretariat Dr. in reference to a shooting.

After Officers arrived, they located a male with multiple gunshot wounds and immediately began administering first aid until medics arrived.

Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division were called to the scene due to the nature of the call. It was determined that a disturbance occurred over services rendered and a weapon was produced.

The male was transported to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Multiple people were detained at the scene and will be transported to Main Station for formal interviews with detectives.

This is still an active and ongoing investigation. If you have any information about this incident, you are encouraged to call the Corpus Christi Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at 361-886-2840. Anyone who would like to keep their identity secret and still provide information to detectives should call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (8477) or submit the tip online at https://www.p3tips.com/TipForm.aspx?ID=343&C=&T=.

The FBI Corpus Christi Resident Agency and the Corpus Christi Police Department are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating a man dubbed the “High-Vis Heister” who robbed an American Bank in Corpus Christi last week.

The robbery occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the American Bank located at 4145 South Alameda Street. During the robbery, the suspect entered the bank, threw a bag at a teller, displayed a black handgun, and verbally demanded cash. Fearing for her life, the teller handed the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect then fled the bank on foot, entered a dark-colored SUV, and was last seen driving south on Everhart Road. No one was physically hurt during the robbery.

The robber is described as a Hispanic male in his early 30s to early 40s, approximately 5’9” tall with a medium build. During the robbery, he wore a camouflaged-colored Hooey baseball cap, dark sunglasses, a ski mask, a long-sleeved black shirt, dark pants, cowboy boots, a black Hardy glove, and a florescent high-visibility safety vest.

Photographs of the bank robbery suspect are attached. They can also be found on FBI Houston’s X and Facebook accounts.

If you have any information, please submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov or call the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324).
